Today I created my own Flickr account, but since I did not bring a digital camera with me to work, I decided to randomly search the Flickr archives for concerts that I've attended recently and see if I could find myself. I'm not sure if I've succeeded here - I'm only about 50% sure that the guy in the lower right hand corner wearing glasses is me. But I DID drive down to VA Beach to see The Gaslight Anthem in October, and I WAS standing in that general area, so I think it's a good bet. Still, it would be nice if the photographer had taken another step or two back so I could confirm if this is definitively me...does this glasses-wearing-person have on one of my shirts, or is he standing next to my wife? These would be key facts in determining the true identity of the man in the lower right hand corner.
But whether or not that is me, the concert was awesome! The entire crowd sang along to every word of every song. I'm convinced that singer Brian Fallon was cloned from Bruce Springsteen's DNA and born sometime around 1980 to punk rock parents. He told a couple stories about visiting places that are mentioned in Springsteen songs, and he even wore the same kind of beanie that Bruce wears on the Live At Hammersmith Odeon DVD. Definitely check out The Gaslight Anthem if you like good rock 'n roll.
As for me, I'm going to check out some more Flickr, and think of ways that we can use it at CHPL. Flickr Away!!!
